You will often hear me discussing primitive reflexes. If you have any concerns that your child may have one or more retained primitive reflexes. Get in touch with- we can help.

Primitive Reflexes: What They Are, What They Mean, and More The primitive reflexes are involuntary motions that aid in the development of certain skills in babies. Here's why they're important.

The women of True Potential Chiropractic are truly amazing. Each brings their own unique strengths, talents and perspectives to the work they do.

On International Women’s Day, we’re stopping for a moment to recognise the role that these women play in caring for you. And more broadly, the importance of women in our lives as partners, mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, leaders and so much more.

From us to you - Happy International Women’s Day 💪✨💕🥂

Always such a fabulous way to end the working year. This year our charity day helped support the local Have Hope charity https://havealittlehope.org/

We are so grateful to our clients for so generously donating non perishable items in lieu of payment for their adjustments today 🙏💫

As another year comes to a close we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all of the families who entrust their healthcare to us. It is an honour and a privilege to serve you and we look forward to helping you on your healing journey in 2024.

From the True Potential Chiropractic Family to yours - We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a safe, happy and healthy New Year.

Lots of love,

Dr Renee, Dr Sally, Dr David, Dr Lucy and our reception extraordinaires Stacey and Rebecca 🥰🎄🌟

Such fun with the True Potential Chiropractic and in Fine Fettle massage teams enjoying our Christmas party today! Who would have thought that Christmas wreath making could become a competitive sport (Dr David the self declared winner!!) 🎅💐🎉🥂

Just a reminder only four more weeks until we close for our Christmas rest on Friday 22nd December. This will also be our annual charity day in which we ask you to bring goods to donate to the Salvation Army in lieu of payment for your adjustment. We are also accepting donations in the lead up if you wanted to support this worthy cause.

With just a few more clinic shifts left for me, it's time to say a little farewell. Andy and I are heading off on a big caravanning adventure to Western Australia and Northern Territory, we are planning to go for a number of months. As novice caravanners, it will be a steep learning curve for us both. We are going to follow the sunshine and spend our days swimming, snorkelling, riding, relaxing, recharging, reconnecting and exploring this great southern land.

Whilst we are off, I'm so pleased that Dr Melvin is stepping in and going to be caring for everyone in my absence. Dr Melvin brings such a wealth of knowledge to our clinic after practising for over 10 years in a busy clinic in Horsham. He brings new and varied techniques such as dry needling which will be a huge benefit for many of you. Dr Melvin has also worked with many elite athletes including Olympians and AFL players, his diagnostic skills are well tuned.

Please make him feel welcome as he works alongside Dr Renee & Dr Emily and the rest of the True Potential Team.

Take care and I'll see you on our return.

Cheers Dr Sally

Can you guess I love what I do? Days like today are my favourite in practice. Adjusting lots of little spines!

Did you know that we are different from traditional chiropractors? We are highly trained in paediatric chiropractic which means that we use very specific, gentle techniques suitable for all ages and stages of growth and development.

Traditional chiropractors are looking to temporarily decrease pain, improve range of motion, and decrease muscle spasms. We do all of those things
too, but we also have a bigger objective! We are looking for where bones in the spine, pelvis, and cranium have shifted out of place, due to
stress!

We call this a neurostructural shift. It not only changes the alignment, movement, and impacts the muscles and tissues around the joint but it also changes the way the information
is being sent to the brain.
Altered input, alters the brain and during development, it alters growth!

What other questions do you have about the specific way that we practice? Leave them in the comments or message us directly!

There are NO bad kids. We stand firmly by that statement because we know that behaviors are windows into the brain.
When your child is displaying neuro-deflective behaviors it can feel frustrating and we understand that. Your child is frustrated too, but they are
engaging with the world around them in the best way that they can in that moment.
In those moments we encourage you to:
Pause. Take a breath and look at the situation. An intentional pause and big deep breath helps to lower your own stress and allows you to
shift perspective if needed.
Assess the additional stressors that could potentially cause this neuro-deflective behavior. Is your child tired, hungry, or receiving more input
than usual? Did something trigger the behavior? The environment? A demand? A change or unexpected event?
Put on your brain-based lens. Remember that your child is doing the best they can with their most efficient tools they have to process,
engage, and connect to their world right now. For example, if your child is hitting, it may be because they are primarily processing in
movement/touch and are seeking tactile feedback in the moment of stress.
Adjust where you can. What additional stressors did you notice when you assessed? Can any of them be addressed immediately and
removed?
At True Potential Chiropractic we recognise that all behaviours are a window into the brain and we know that with our chiropractic adjustments, gut healing and
nutrition, brain-based games and exercises, and brain-based support we can support the nervous system and the brain to help your child
overcome unwanted neuro-deflective behaviors.

phone consultation with Dr. Renee!

From the True Potential Chiropractic and In Fine Fettle families to yours. We wish you a very Happy New Year. We hope that 2023 is one that brings health, happiness and much joy.

Sending you much love for the holiday season.

Today we farewelled our much loved Wendy over a deliscious lunch. We are very grateful for the last couple of years of your service and friendship.

📣 Just a reminder to allow a little extra time to get to your appointments over the next few weeks whilst there are multiple road closures in the area! 🚙❌

🕐 We do ask that you try to arrive on time for your appointments as Stacey, Wendy and MaryClaire are currently playing a great game of appointment book jenga as we try to navigate rescheduled appointments due to COVID, staff shortages and waiting lists. 🤔😬. As always we ask that you try to give us as much notice as you can if you are unable to attend your appointment as we have many people on our waiting lists who would really appreciate a spot if it becomes available and the courtesy of notice allows us to provide care for someone else. 🥰

We understand these are incredibly trying times take care out there, be kind to yourself and know that we are all here to support you. 💖

Happy New Year - from my family to yours.
